@PDI

Than you for the fast response.

Next week if you make some Avast beta build with fix for Win8/8.1 x86 I'm willing to test it, no problem, iirc my parents on their PC they're still using Win8.1 Pro 32bit + Avast Free and afaik they didn't turned on that PC for almost 2 months so they're probably still on Avast Free Antivirus 22.3.6008 (build 22.3.7108), not completely sure but that's probably the case. So, on their PC I can do either a upgrade from current Avast Free Antivirus 22.3.6008 (build 22.3.7108) to Avast Free Antivirus 22.5.6015 (build 22.5.7263) + µUpdate or to wipe completely current Avast Free Antivirus 22.3.6008 (build 22.3.7108) with Avast Clear 22.5.7263 and replace it with latest beta-test build if you provide download link, whatever helps community to get the fastest solution.

Cheers!

Hi,

we released the update for the 22.5. The update for 22.4 should be released later today.

Can you please try if the fix works you?

Thanks,
PDI

Later today after the work on my parents computer with Win8.1 Pro 32bit I'll try to update from Avast Free Antivirus 22.3.6008 (build 22.3.7108) to updated 22.5.

I'll get back here with report.

Thank you!

Few moments ago:  did an update on my parent PC running Win8.1 Pro (corrected) 32bit from Avast Free Antivirus 22.3.6008 (build 22.3.7108) to Avast Free Antivirus 22.5.6015 (build 22.5.7263) and everything went smooth.

Good job Avast team, thank you!

Short circuit in my head from overwork  :-[ It was Win8.1 Pro 32bit in case of my parents PC. Corrected...

Hi Pregep,

the fixed issue is related to the x86 systems only.

You wrote that you encounter the issue on your device.

Do you have any other device with W8.1 x86 system to test it?

Thanks,
PDI

My fault, my fault, it was indeed Win8.1 Pro 32bit (I've wrote 64bit). Made a correction in my previous post.
